Download or read book What Is the What written by Dave Eggers and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2009-02-24 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is the What is the story of Valentino Achak Deng, a refugee in war-ravaged southern Sudan who flees from his village in the mid-1980s and becomes one of the so-called Lost Boys. Valentino’s travels bring him in contact with enemy soldiers, with liberation rebels, with hyenas and lions, with disease and starvation, and with deadly murahaleen (militias on horseback)–the same sort who currently terrorize Darfur. Eventually Deng is resettled in the United States with almost 4000 other young Sudanese men, and a very different struggle begins. Based closely on true experiences, What Is the What is heartbreaking and arresting, filled with adventure, suspense, tragedy, and, finally, triumph.

Book Synopsis Eve in Exile: The Restoration of Femininity by : Rebekah Merkle
Download or read book Eve in Exile: The Restoration of Femininity written by Rebekah Merkle and published by Canon Press & Book Service. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The swooning Victorian ladies and the 1950s housewives genuinely needed to be liberated. That much is indisputable. So, First-Wave feminists held rallies for women's suffrage. Second-Wave feminists marched for Prohibition, jobs, and abortion. Today, Third-Wave feminists stand firmly for nobody's quite sure what. But modern women--who use psychotherapeutic antidepressants at a rate never before seen in history--need liberating now more than ever. The truth is, feminists don't know what liberation is. They have led us into a very boring dead end. Eve in Exile sets aside all stereotypes of mid-century housewives, of China-doll femininity, of Victorians fainting, of women not allowed to think for themselves or talk to the men about anything interesting or important. It dismisses the pencil-skirted and stiletto-heeled executives of TV, the outspoken feminists freed from all that hinders them, the brave career women in charge of their own destinies. Once those fictionalized stereotypes are out of the way--whether they're things that make you gag or things you think look pretty fun--Christians can focus on real women. What did God make real women for?

Download or read book Exile written by Kevin Emerson and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kevin Emerson's Exile, book one of the Exile series, combines the swoon-worthy romance of a Susane Colasanti novel with the rock 'n' roll of Eleanor & Park. Summer Carlson knows how to manage bands like a professional—minus the whole falling-for-the-lead-singer-of-the-latest-band part. But Caleb Daniels isn't an ordinary band boy—he's a hot, dreamy, sweet-singing, exiled-from-his-old-band, possibly-with-a-deep-dark-side band boy. She also finds herself at the center of a mystery she never saw coming. When Caleb reveals a secret about his long-lost father, one band's past becomes another's present, and Summer finds it harder and harder to be both band manager and girlfriend. Maybe it's time to accept who she really is, even if it means becoming an exile herself. . . .

Download or read book The Little Exile written by Jeanette Arakawa and published by Stone Bridge Press, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-04-17 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An American girl of Japanese ancestry is exiled in her own country after Japan attacks Pearl Harbor. After Pearl Harbor, little Marie Mitsui, who considers herself a typical American girl, sees her life of school and playing with friends in San Francisco totally upended. Her family and 120,000 others of Japanese ancestry are forcibly relocated to internment camps far from home. Living conditions in the camps are harsh, life after camp is similarly harsh, but in the end, as she and her family make their way back to San Francisco, Marie sees hope for the future. Told from a child’s perspective, The Little Exile deftly conveys Marie’s innocence, wonder, fear, and outrage. Though names and some details have been altered, this is the author's own life story. She believes that underlying everyone's experience, no matter how varied, are threads of humanity that bind us all. It is her hope that readers of all ages are able to find those threads in her story.

Book Synopsis The Old King in His Exile by : Arno Geiger
Download or read book The Old King in His Exile written by Arno Geiger and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Bestseller Shortlisted for the Helen and Kurt Wolff Prize and Schlegel-Tieck Prize What makes us who we are? Arno Geiger's father was never an easy man to know and when he developed Alzheimer's, Arno realised he was not going to ask for help. "As my father can no longer cross the bridge into my world, I have to go over to his." So Arno sets out on a journey to get to know him at last. Born in 1926 in the Austrian Alps, into a farming family who had an orchard, kept three cows, and made schnapps in the cellar, his father was conscripted into World War II as a "schoolboy soldier" - an experience he rarely spoke about, though it marked him. Striking up a new friendship, Arno walks with him in the village and the landscape they both grew up in and listens to his words, which are often full of unexpected poetry. Through his intelligent, moving and often funny account, we begin to see that whatever happens in old age, a human being retains their past and their character. Translated into nearly 30 languages, The Old King in His Exile will offer solace and insight to anyone coping with a loved one's aging.
Book Synopsis Varieties of Exile by : Mavis Gallant
Download or read book Varieties of Exile written by Mavis Gallant and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2003-11-30 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mavis Gallant is the modern master of what Henry James called the international story, the fine-grained evocation of the quandaries of people who must make their way in the world without any place to call their own. The irreducible complexity of the very idea of home is especially at issue in the stories Gallant has written about Montreal, where she was born, although she has lived in Paris for more than half a century. Varieties of Exile, Russell Banks's extensive new selection from Gallant's work, demonstrates anew the remarkable reach of this writer's singular art. Among its contents are three previously uncollected stories, as well as the celebrated semi-autobiographical sequence about Linnet Muir—stories that are wise, funny, and full of insight into the perils and promise of growing up and breaking loose.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Book of Exile by : John Simpson
Download or read book The Oxford Book of Exile written by John Simpson and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1995 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the moment Adam and Eve were expelled from Paradise, exile has been a part of the human experience. The circumstances in which individuals or entire peoples are compelled to leave their homeland are as various as they are numerous, and in this book John Simpson has brought together examples of exile from all over the world, and from all periods of history. The emphasis is on personal experience, with writers from Ovid to Solzhenitsyn describing their exile, their emotions, their struggle and their despair. For those who have chosen a life in exile, the response is more mixed: ambivalence about the country they have left and the country they have chosen suffuses the writing of intellectuals seeking freedom of speech, as of ex-pats living in India or Australia. Those persecuted for their faith or their politics rub shoulders with those fleeing from war, or from debt, or even from the weather. Castaways and spies, premiers and princes describe their departure, their reception and sometimes their return, in an anthology that is by turns inspiring, moving, and deeply thought-provoking. With sources ranging from police records, newspaper articles, interviews, letters and memoirs, as well as verse and fiction, and settings as remote as Iran and Russia, China and Palestine, The Oxford Book of Exile provides a fascinating insight into an experience that touches so many, and captures the imagination of us all.
Book Synopsis Return from Exile by : F. Remy Diederich
Download or read book Return from Exile written by F. Remy Diederich and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-29 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Are Readers Saying About "Return From Exile?" "Return from Exile is a road-map through the wilderness of loss." [I learned that]..."our lowest low is the very time that God is making His greatest investment in us." How are loss, failure, and personal setbacks an exile?Literally, exile is when a person, or a people, are banished from their country. Metaphorically, exile is when life throws you a curve and you end up isolated, disillusioned, and disoriented, mourning the loss of what you once held close. You find yourself in an emotional place you never anticipated, feeling broken. It leaves you scared and alone, wondering if you will ever return to "normal." What kind of losses makes an exile?Exile could be from a relational breakdown, like divorce. It could be from the death of a loved one. It could be from a setback in health, like cancer. Or it can be from the various seasons of life like a job loss, infertility, the empty nest, or an emotional condition like depression or anxiety. Loss comes in many forms. But most people are unaware of the deep impact it has on their lives. As a result, they live with a nagging ache in their heart, feeling broken, having no idea how to deal with it. How will "Return from Exile" help me recover from my grief and depression? In "Return from Exile," F. Remy Diederich draws on the many examples of exile in the Bible to help you return from your place of brokenness. It's written with forty short chapters that serve as a daily devotional to help you process your loss and get your life back on track. These devotionals explain the impact loss has on you, how God can use your brokenness to develop you as a person, and then how God wants to bring you out the pain of exile to restore your joy and sense of purpose. "Return From Exile" will transform your thinking to see that exile can be a season where God actually ADDS to your life through your brokenness. God uses the suffering and pain to do a work in you that can't be done any other way. Readers have summarized "Return from Exile" by saying: "I appreciated that the first 26 days helped define "exile", inviting me to identify times of loss in my life (when it felt like God didn't care and wouldn't- or couldn't- help). Then the final 14 days provided guidance on how to find my way "out of exile", to find hope and joy restored!" "I found myself highlighting a lot in this book to go back and revisit, but I also found the book highlight some things in my life to go back and revisit." "In this book Remy offers incredible insights into loss, spirituality, and self-compassion that are interwoven with some of the great Bible stories. It is accessible and contains much practical wisdom that can be used immediately." Don't waste your grief and loss.If your setback has caused you to lose hope and direction, then "Return From Exile" will help get your life back on track. Don't waste your grief and loss. Let God use them to transform your life for good. Note: The paperback version (vs. Kindle) offers space at the end of each chapter to journal answers to questions meant to help you process the material. This makes it very helpful to process your loss personally as well as discuss the material in a small group.
